| - Man, I totally made a mess of the evening before, so I had to meet a friend to work out a situation. We wanted to go to a place that had great food and a great vibe...that I've never been to. Ok, so I can't lie and say that although we had to talk about something important, a small part of my decision to go to BJs was because A.) I haven't been there, B.) I heard it was really good and C.) It would give me the opportunity to make a review on Yelp :)
This place has a huge buzz, well at least from what I experiences. True it was on a Saturday night but the place was packed with people, the lighting was hip and the overall vibe made me excited to be there! They have their own signature brews and offered many menu options? Uh, yes please! Our server was quite but didn't a good job.
For my first visit, here's what I got:
Drinks: A couple of glasses of the Piranha Pale Ale. It's a hoppy ale and had a snappy flavor. Apparently this beer took Silver in some American beer festival in the past, so I had to try it.
Appetizer: For the table, we got the Thai Shrimp Lettuce Wraps. Grilled shrimp glazed with spicy Thai sauce, served on a bed of Napa cabbage, cilantro, carrots and red onion, all tossed with a fresh, minty mango salsa and sprinkled with toasted coconut. Served in butter lettuce cups with a spicy Thai sauce for dipping. The shrimp to everything else ratio was great and the sauce really pulled all the components together. Sooo good! A little messy but I definitely looked passed that!
Meal: For my meal, I got the New enLIGHTened Thai chicken mango salad. Grilled, marinated chicken breast, chili spiced jicama and mango strips, red bell peppers and red onions on a bed of mixed baby greens, bibb lettuce and arugula tossed in a sweet citrus-chili dressing and topped with fresh sliced avocado, mint, green onions and sesame wonton crisps. Trust me, that description was taken from BJs' website, I'm not that good at descriptions, however, I am good at giving my take on it. Probably one of the best salads I've ever had. The spiced jicama complimented the sweet mango and the bell peppers gave a crisp texture. This salad was packed with seemingly clashing components but it all worked well together.
So for all of you who want to know, yes, we worked out our differences and made a possible bad situation into a completely better one. I definitely think the food had something to do with it. The place had a great buzz and I can't wait to come back! Thanks guys!!
